Somnus, I am going to agree with you on this one. I know my opinion will not be a popular one, but I did the whole asking for signs thing and nothing worked out lol.
Last year I was asking for signs and was doing this with another member here on the forum, we both would ask for crazy signs, things not common...for example, I was living in the flipping desert and asked to see a seashell, very uncommon in the desert and lo and behold I found a seashell. I asked to see a picture of Benjamin Franklin and got that including seeing a basketball with the word Franklin on it lol. I was in Florida over the summer and asked to see a cactus, what do you know there was a cactus, I almost backed right into it and it was in someones house lol. I got all the signs I asked for but guess what?
? Nothing manifested that I was asking for confirmation.
I could not understand why I was seeing things that were not commone to my environment and nothing was happening....oh and I asked to see an Elk, well that day I saw an Elk on TV too lol.
I could be wrong but I think asking for signs of confirmation is saying we don't trust the Universe/God or whatever a person believes in.
I am a firm believer now that if something is released...a want, need, desire...and we move forward in faith knowing that whatever we feel we are missing, wanting, desiring will come...it might not be in the way we want it, or what we think we want but things will come that are for our highest good.
I love what Synergy said the other day and that was why worry, what is going to happen will happen. I feel that believing, trusting, and staying positive,regardless of the situation, will bring forth good things...even though it might not look like it at the moment.
My opinion on this? Asking for a confirmation is like saying "I know good things are coming, and I trust this...but give me some back up because I don't really believe it will happen" and that is not releasing and having faith.
Bottom line is this whatever is going to happen will, with or without confirmations that may or may not be right. HHHHMMMM, kind of like readings.
I really hate to be a downer here, but this "looking for signs" thing sounds like it's really just playing on your psychology. If you assign a "sign" to present itself to prove that such-and-such will happen, you're going to start subconsciously looking for that thing everywhere. You won't even realize you're doing it. The problem is that unless you're looking for something very specific and unusual, something that you wouldn't see every day, something that should be nearly impossible for you to encounter in your day-to-day life unless it meant something, these "signs" are just you being more aware of your surroundings.
And when I mean specific and unusual, I mean you live in Minnesota and you say you're going to see an anaconda in the middle of the street if something is going to happen.
I'm not saying you shouldn't believe in signs or what have you; the big white bird on Zenia's balcony is pretty intriguing. I'm just saying take these things with a grain of salt, especially if your sign involves currency from your own country or relatively common birds appearing.
I definitely agree that when we release our attachment to something/someone, that's when we receive what we truly desire. The philosophy is that when we're attached to something then we're essentially telling the Universe that our happiness depends on this particular thing or person when it doesn't and shouldn't.
Faith and fear cannot co-exist and once I put my energies into faith vs fear, I feel so much better and things seem to flow much better in life.
When I look back at situation in my life, there was a reason why I didn't end up with a particular person because things wouldn't have worked out and for that, I'm very grateful. When I was pushed out of a certain work situation, it really sucked at the time but it was also one of the best things that happened to me. I ended up in a much better work environment so things really do work out for the best in the end.
If something is truly meant to be, it will come your way and usually in a manner you never expected.
I've also gotten signs in the form of a person's name and cities, etc. Did the outcome happen? Nope and I don't see that they will. Perhaps it was an indication that I will eventually have resolution about the person/situation but in the meantime, life is in the here and now and it's too short to waste energy trying to interpret signs. I take notice and carry on.
